Is the maximum memory stated the total maximum (including the existing), or is it the maximum additional memory that can be installed? Or am I getting this completely wrong and there is no built in memory, so what you install is what you get?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Late 2008 model, white macbook, 13"
There is no built in RAM on the MacBook. Your model can handle 6gB as indicated below.
Maximum Memory 6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
So just to clarify, if I were to follow the max set by apple, I'll be installing two 2GB cards?
Thanks!
Two 2gB RAM sticks will work, as well as one 2gB and one 4gB.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5.1 Aulminum Unibody it can use 8gb of 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The model 4,1 (Early 2008) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM The model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
How do I interpret the maximum memory?
